Monster Hunter Rise Won T Feature Cross Play Or Cross Save

If you were banking on bringing your Monster Hunter Rise character progression from Switch to PC, or perhaps you just wanted to play with a friend who only plays on PC, it seems you’re out of luck. A few hours ago, CAPCOM confirmed in a tweet that cross-play and cross-save functionalities won’t be available for Monster Hunter Rise, as the developers looked into implementing them but couldn’t do it.

This is presumably for technical reasons, and the wording seems to imply they will keep trying, if not for this game at least for the next Monster Hunter installment.

As a reminder, Monster Hunter Rise launched earlier this year on Nintendo Switch and it has now shipped over 7.5 million units globally. It’s also coming to PC on January 12th, 2022, and then the Sunbreak expansion will be released for both platforms next Summer.
